IP Blocked
Hello!

Apparently 2 days ago I forgot to login and edited with my IP something which was deemed "disruptive". I tried to find what was the edit but I didn't see anything on the contribution page of the IP, so I'm writing to you to know what was it that I wrote that was disruptive mainly because I'm curious but also in order to try and be a better Wikipedia user, since everything I've edited I've done it in good faith and trying to be as impartial as possible.

Respectfully looking forward to your reply,

 * Hi SuperBaroni. I can't answer that definitively as I cannot see what your IP address is. However, I can tell you that over the last week or so I have had to issue several blocks covering wide ranges of IP addresses due to IP hopping vandals or pervasive disruption of other sorts within the range. It is entirely possible that your IP was caught in one of those range blocks. Usually when I impose a wide range block on anonymous editing, I leave open the possibility for constructive editors to create an account which allows them to contribute to the project. I see that you have done that. I will drop a welcome template on your talk page shortly. Happy editing. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply!
 * Sadly I don't know how to find my IP since the message that my IP was banned stopped appearing after I logged in, but I think what you said is indeed entirely possible. I created this account 5 months ago although I haven't been very active to say the truth. Lastly, I want to thank you for the template and also for taking time to reply so fast.

Redaction needed
can you please also redact this edit Special:Diff/1231888684 at Sudanese civil war (2023–present) FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:43, 30 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @FuzzyMagma Just took care of it. It's been a busy day at AIV. -Ad Orientem (talk) 20:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * @Myrealnamm Thank you for the kind words. AIV, like all parts of the project, has a learning curve. But it's not steep. Basically it boils down to just naked vandalism or obvious spamming. Some kind of formal warning is generally expected except in very rare cases. Most other forms of disruption are handled at ANI or SPI. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:33, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

I think this ip's talk page access needs to be revoked asap! Untamed1910 (talk) 02:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Untamed1910 Yeah I just saw that. TPA revoked and block extended to 3 months. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:49, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Meena Kurian sock
Just so you know, I have blocked for the standard two weeks as a clear sock of Meena Kurian (the page says these blocks can be made based on AIV reports). Daniel Case (talk) 21:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Daniel Case That's fine. I'm not familiar with that particular LTA so wasn't comfortable acting. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem. I only learned about when I saw them mentioned and looked up the report. It's definitely them (adding long crufty lists of animals to zoo articles). Daniel Case (talk) 22:29, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Happy 4th of July!


Colman2000 (talk) is wishing you a Happy 4th of July! On this day, we recognize our independence from Great Britain with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, which ultimately paved the way to our freedom. Celebrate this day in many different ways, such as hosting a barbecue, watching baseball games, or even attending a fireworks show! Happy Independence Day, fellow American!

Revdel request
Hello! Do you mind if I ask for a revdel request at Bini (group)? An IP made inappropriate BLP edits involving this group, which is deeply unsettling because some of their members were minors at the time their career started. Borgenland (talk) 08:52, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Borgenland Done. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Kim Hye-yoon sock is back
Hi, the IP (119.74.209.44) that you blocked on 2 July 2024, is back again after the article's protection just expired few hours ago. Restoring back the same content as the sockmaster. See diff of sockmaster vs diff of IP socks 1, 2, and current IP sock.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  14:28, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
